These tracks were composed in 2000 for Rimusicazioni Festival, as a soundtrack for A propos de Nice by Jean Vigo. They are inspired by features of French popular music and are conceived to be simple and easily performed with a limited amount of time available.
Since A propos de Nice only lasts 23 minutes, the composer thought it would be interesting to include two different soundtracks in this disc - corresponding to two different points of view. The second soundtrack, separated from the first by 10 seconds of silence, originates from a variety of samples originally composed on the computer for other purposes. Such samples were cut, edited and remixed, seeking for a harmony between sound and image.
Finally, the last two tracks follow the same idea of the first part, but they were not used in the final version of the soundtrack.

Soundscapes are strictly connected to the social and environmental profile of an area, and as such are subject to change and evolution. With the start of this project of documentation of Bolzano's soundscapes we would like to give our contribution to the creation of some sort of magnifying lens and acoustic memory, with the aim of safeguard and preserve interesting situations: we believe that this can encourage a new kind of exploration of an area, as well as the recovery and appreciation of a new kind of awareness, based on the listening rather than on the seeing.
